Stay on target

The rumors are true: A Breaking Bad film is coming to the big screen soon.

According to the New Mexico Film Office, the film Greenbrier will begin production in Duke City, New Mexico from mid-November through February, reported the Albuquerque Journal. The film office didn’t disclose if this new project was a Breaking Bad film, but a source affiliated with the project said it was the speculated flick everyone’s been talking about.

This will be the first project for Vince Gilligan, the creator of the hit TV series Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, after he signed a three-year deal with Sony Pictures Television this summer. Greenbrier’s logline said it tells the story of a kidnapped man and his journey to freedom. Details on which Breaking Bad characters will be in the movie were not confirmed yet, but we might learn more within the next few weeks.

“We are happy to welcome ‘Greenbrier’ and Sony Studios to New Mexico,” said Nick Maniatis, New Mexico State Film Office’s director. “For years, we’ve built up the film industry in New Mexico and strengthened our film incentives; now, we’re seeing success after success for the film industry in our state.”

Previously, the New Mexico film industry and Sony Pictures Television collaborated on filming for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The new flick is allegedly employing roughly 300 New Mexico crew members, 16 New Mexico actors, and 450 New Mexico background talent for production.
